The 'include' patch doesn't apply any more, and in any case needs splitting
up logically (vtd bits go in vtd patch; neo bits in neo patch; any generic
bits in xen patch). The 'pt' (neo) code looks to throw way too much stuff in
include/xen/ of which I suspect most is private definitions that really
belong in the pt/ directory. Also consider which bits should be in
include/asm rather than include/xen.

The presence of the E820_1TO1 stuff makes me suspect that the 1:1 area
allocation hasn't been cleaned up as much as it should have been. There
shouldn't be any need to modify Xen's permanent e820 map I think.

Haven't looked any further at the Xen parts, but I'll take a look at the
tools patch...
